Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 16
Back home, Jiang Ling took off her backpack, feeling a little worried.

Jiang Ling really wanted to share with her parents the joy of picking up money for nothing.However, the Jiang family is open-minded, and the generation gap is not obvious.Jiang Ling never hid anything from her parents—the loss of five yuan or something, maybe she ignored it; if her wallet was stolen on the bus, she must report it!

So Jiang Ling thought about it for a long time, and found that she couldn't make things right when facing her parents - she was inexperienced!Therefore, either tell the whole story about Lin Yuzhe; or don't even talk about the silver dollar for the time being.

Of course, we can't talk about Lin Yuzhe.The more parents know, the more dangerous the family is; if they don't know, it's their own protection and theirs.So in the end, Jiang Ling decided to sell the silver dollars as soon as possible, and then find an opportunity to tell his parents that he made a small fortune.

……

Determined to pay attention, Jiang Ling stuffed his backpack under the bed, and went out to the vegetable market and supermarket to do some shopping.In addition to grocery shopping, Jiang Ling also bought a shopping basket full of "feel good" oatmeal, boxed milk, mung beans and soybeans, etc.Among them, sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn are naturally indispensable.

Jiang Ling returned home and put everything away.Jiang Ling put the "dusty" sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn into a garbage bag, carried them downstairs, and threw them into the garbage can in the community.After finishing all this, Jiang Ling took a shower, turned on the Internet, and searched for information and market prices of silver dollars.

- Thanks to the network, thanks to Google!

After a general understanding of the market, Jiang Ling began to count the silver dollars.

The clay pot is not big, only seven or eight inches in diameter, flat.Jiang Ling uncovered the mud seal, took off the moisture-proof lime cloth bag, uncovered the wrapped fine white cotton cloth, and took out one by one.They are all silver coins from the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, made in Jiangnan Province, either in the Jiachen year or the Yisi year, and they are all in good condition.Probably it has always been a wealthy family's Kuyin, which is brand new and has not been taken out to pass on the market.

Jiang Ling pointed out a hundred silver dollars, no more and no less, and took out the muslin.Then Jiang Ling was surprised to find that there was another small lump of hard object wrapped in red silk under the jar.

Take it out and weigh it, it is heavy; when you open it, it is full of gold ingots.In terms of the old tael system, the number is also a whole, a total of sixteen: half a catty eight taels, half a catty eight taels, which refers to the previous one catty, which is divided into 16 taels.

Where did Jiang Ling find Ji Zi?I had no choice but to pick up a weight with my hand and estimate it: it is about the same weight as that kind of small soil egg.Camellia shape, six rounded corners, smooth and lovely.The workmanship at that time was limited, and it could not be said to be very smooth, but it was simple and honest, and looked beaming.

The words on the front of the gold ingots are not all the same.Some are "recruiting wealth and treasure", some are "blessing", and some are "lu", but there is no "shou".There are three types in total.The stamp on the back is the same: Liao Hengji.

——It turns out that this is the main event!
Jiang Ling was pleasantly surprised, and couldn't help wondering: Since there are gold ingots, why hide silver dollars?

But in the next moment, Jiang Ling figured it out, and immediately admired the master's thoughtfulness.Because rich families hide gold, needless to say, it is for the consideration of descendants.And if the descendants of future generations are so poor that they need to use the stock at the bottom of the box at home, then it is better to have different denominations... Otherwise, the turnover will remain the same, and people will definitely take advantage of the opportunity!
This made Jiang Ling extremely calm. After thinking for a moment, he took ten silver dollars of different years, plus a gold ingot, and planned to go to the City God Temple area tomorrow to find out the market price; the rest of the things, including the backpack, were stuffed under the bed.

*********
This night, two of the family of three knew nothing about the subcontracting incident in the kitchen.After all, how can a normal person, an ordinary person, an ordinary person remember what those sweet potatoes in his kitchen look like, and how can he remember how many potatoes there are?
What's more, when Jiang Ling bought it, he specially picked a similar size and weight.

Jiang Ling didn't forget about this matter, but he didn't intend to mention it to his parents at all.Because it's useless to mention it empty-handed.And until he finds a way and is sure that he can protect himself and avoid the danger of being sliced ​​for research, Jiang Ling is not going to tell anyone his secrets, including his parents.

If they knew, it would be of no benefit, and instead of being frightened, they might be involved in danger.

……

That night, Jiang Ling suddenly admired herself.There are hundreds of thousands of things stuffed under the bed, and I can still eat, take a walk, and chat in peace, as if there is no such thing at all.

From this incident, Jiang Ling found that the communication with Heguoyu and the old camphor tree had affected her somewhat—her thoughts and opinions as a person did not disappear or become dull; but her preferences and mood became Simpler and firmer.

It's like getting along with such and such friends in depth, and will always be affected by some such and such.

Jiang Ling always likes to live a simple and fulfilling life, and doesn't like extravagance and extravagance.So she thought about it for a moment, and acquiesced to the change.To be honest, Jiang Ling would be very happy if friends could be like plants.

Before going to sleep, Jiang Ling sat by the bed, calmed down, and looked at the recent light outside the window.Sure enough, the "white mist" from the green area under the window floated in slowly, circled her a few times, and flowed out briskly.The taro body of the fruit is inside, and new leaves grow out piece by piece at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jiang Ling was taken aback, and then had a headache—Mom and Dad were familiar with the furnishings in her room, how could they hide the fact that so many yams had flourished in a few days? !So Jiang Ling quickly asked Heguoyu to stop for a while.But it turned out to be a good thing, even though there was no wind, the Heguo taro shook its leaves.Immediately, Jiang Ling received a feeling of incomparable grievance...

Wronged as if the little loli met the strange potato, the little white rabbit met the big bad wolf!

Jiang Ling was so angry that he almost kicked him.After confronting each other for a while, Jiang Ling fell into a deep sleep and was really bored to care about it.But Heguoyu continued happily.

After a while, half asleep and half awake, Jiang Ling received a burst of complaints.

"Hold... hold... hold!
Suffocated again!
It’s so suffocating...」

Jiang Ling turned over.

- Deserves it!Call you greedy!

*********
Although he deserved it, the first thing Jiang Ling did after waking up early the next morning was to go out, went to the commercial street outside the vegetable market, found a shop selling flowers, trees and goldfish, and bought a glass jug the size of a basketball. There are also two bags of medical stones.

On Saturday, Jiang Fu'an and Hu Haiyan got up later than usual.When they got up to wash, Jiang Ling was in the bathroom, changing basins, washing stones, and adding water, and she hadn't finished.The result was ready, and Mother Jiang saw it all at once, and while squeezing the toothpaste, she said, "Oh, Lingling, you bought a new pot? Did the pot die? I didn't see you throw it away. "

Heguo taro shakes without wind; Jiang Ling smiles and doesn't speak.

Jiang Fu'an also looked at it: "This pot is really good, how much did you pay for it?"

Jiang Ling shrinks her neck, raises one hand, and stretches her five fingers: she bought that small pot for five yuan back then.

Jiang Fu'an looked at it for a moment, then nodded: "Fifty, it's worth it! Don't forget to let it bask in the sun this time! By the way, did you wear invisibility today? I think your glasses cleaning fluid is about to expire, don't Forgot to change."

Heguoya stopped shaking; Jiang Ling nodded, still smiling and not speaking.Fortunately, Jiang Fu'an and Hu Haiyan didn't have the habit of getting to the bottom of things, and they didn't have a high degree of sensitivity and vigilance. After a word of advice, they went to make breakfast.
